I'll second this as well. I yanked these out of my 90 and found a cracked
three-port "elbow" thing and "mushed" hose from elbow to intake manifold.
Additionally, these pieces were coated with what appeared to be rubber
cement and nicely wrapped up in electrical tape. I guess the previous
owner/mechanic decided to rig it rather than spend the $4 on a new elbow and
hose. Maybe this worked for some time, but not now; the vacuum leak was as
plain as day when I checked it out.
